I am having trouble with some wifi connections. Some questions I’ve read seem to blame the Broadcom drivers.
I ran the following:
sudo apt-get remove broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source bcmwl-kernel-source
After reboot, it seemed that no driver was installed.
My wireless card is the BCM4313, and according to Ubuntu’s guide for the Broadcom BCM43xx, I would need the brcmsmac driver. This seems correct according to kernal.org Broadcom documentation.
The thing is, I don't know whether I have to install it, or how. Apparently it should be there by default, but when I run:
sudo insmod brcm80211
I get
insmod: ERROR: could not load module brcm80211: No such file or directory
- How can I go about trying other drivers to see if any work?
- How do I install brcmsmac?
bcma-pci-bridge
(or justbcma
) driver? That worked for two machines I had/know about that used the BCM4313 (also, what is the output oflsmod | sort
(please edit this into your question)?
